"Goldman Sachs Group Inc. and Morgan Stanley are getting a chilly reception at top colleges, including Harvard University and Princeton University, as campus offshoots of Occupy Wall Street target investment-bank recruiting events.

Goldman Sachs canceled visits to Harvard and Brown University last week following a November incident where Occupy Harvard protesters attempted to enter a recruitment session. Students at Yale University, Princeton and Cornell University have also rallied at campus events by investment firms."

I recognize that these are the kids of the 1%, but, hey, it's a start.

Goldman Sachs canceled the visits, the universities did not. There seems to be an arrogant power-play going on, I'm seeing it at amazon.com right now. They're attempting to first legitimize their hegemony by acting ballsy, a sort of failure or defiant attempt to disregard social consciousness. They're testing the waters, hubris may kill them, and I'm confident that Occupy is working to alter the climate, simply creating conditions that harshly repudiate the anti-social protocol that Goldman Sachs and amazon.com have been successfully running with for way too long now.

So what country spent themselves to prosperity? How's that Solyndra investment working, employing a lot of people?

Who is to say its effective, the President who has never worked in a for profit organization or employed a person in his life. Do you think he knows how to read a financial statement. Do you think he has sweated out making payroll.

I know these are minor grips from the racist right. How did that Geo W Bush thing work out for you? Enron, WorldCom, Lehman, and you want to talk about a minor, appropriate investment in a new tech company. Go back to sleep.....
